Scuba Diving St Thomas: 2 Tank Certified Boat Dive

Explore vibrant Caribbean reefs and shipwrecks with expert guidance and fresh fruit breaks

A 3.5-hour certified scuba dive from St Thomas on a 32-foot boat with a dive master, visiting Caribbean reefs and shipwrecks. All equipment, water and fruit included. You'll need current dive certification and experience within the past two years. Morning and afternoon departures let you pick the slot that fits your schedule.

The experience

You need to show up certified and current (evidence of dive training and a dive within the past two years), and the rest is handled. The boat holds 12 divers max, which means you're not crammed in with fifty others. A dive master leads both tanks, showing you around the reefs and wrecks that make St Thomas a draw for people who know how to use the gear. All equipment comes with you: tanks, weights, BCD, regulators, wetsuits, masks, fins and snorkels. Between the two dives, you surface for water and fresh fruit while the crew resets.

The dive runs 3.5 hours total, with morning and afternoon slots so you can build the rest of your day around it. Public transportation reaches the departure point, and all areas of the boat and facilities are wheelchair accessible. The pace is built for divers who are comfortable in the water but don't need to be athletes: moderate fitness is the bar.

What’s included

• All scuba equipment (tanks, weights, BCD, regulators, wetsuits, masks, fins and snorkels).
• complimentary water and fresh fruit during the surface interval between dives.
• a dive master for both tanks.

Is this one for you?Book the morning dive if you want the rest of your day free after you surface. The afternoon slot works if you're sleeping in or have plans that morning. Either way, the small group size means you're diving with the same crew and divers for both tanks, not rotating through strangers.
